Count me in there, as quick as I start a new mod or update comes along and I have to start again!

Really hate necromancy BUT i have just realized as i ran the game for the first time in ages that i seem to have the same issue.

Using The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

And followed the installation instructions to the letter ( this is a fresh installment of win 7 x64 so no previous installations were present).

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated... was doing the first camp mission and was mighty suprised that i could not see anything but some odd puffs of smoke on the horizon, crew not alerting to ships being present; after submerging i can clearly hear the screws via hydrophone and could track them.

Then i got hit out of nowhere and i see a chimney shooting at me ^^ Turns out it was a frigate underwater...

Has anyone found a fix for this problem yet? This seems to go back to 2014, and had no replies? Through the scopes and binoculars, any ship I see away from port is submerged??? They seem fine in port however.
Strange. Anybody have an answer?

Thanks in advance, Buck...

Why is this such a big problem, ships are just fine when you came near?

Maybe this is some crazy attempt of developers to simulate curvature of the earth?
I'm not sure but if I remember correctly this was more or less problem with all SH games...

Has it got something to do with the water clipping height in the SkyGeometry dat file in env folder ? Silent3ditor .

I think it's the way the game renders the horizon/sky transition when looking at it with magnification. Does weird stuff like that when looking through the Binoculars in fog as well ; you can see smoke on the horizon unassisted, but sometimes nothing when looking through the bino's.

Well, mate, what that is, its called the "horizon"... Earth is round u know, if u get what i mean

Yep

... if the world was round, anything below 45°N would be a problem. you'd definitely grow one leg longer than the other!
